Chapter 405: King of Khotan
Daniel Zhang retired after telling the military situation.
Ying Zheng had no relationship with Wusun at all, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Only Kukanchi still had lingering palpitations.
He was really afraid that Touman would kill Dawan as soon as he was happy.
Fortunately, it was winter at this time, and the heavy snow not only saved the remnants of the Yueshi, but also blessed Dawan.
But Wusun was miserable, and they didn't deliberately invite the remnants of the Yue clan to flee to the country, but they were uprooted by the Huns, and the country was ruined.
Huns, just say it, have you coveted others for a long time?
In fact, when the Xiongnu army appeared on the border of the Yue Clan, Ying Zheng knew that there was no excuse for the crime he wanted to add?
Touman had already planned to expand westward, but he was just waiting for the opportunity to find an excuse.
And the source of the disaster suffered by the Yue clan and Wusun this time really lies in Yingzheng.
He extinguished the Xiongnu's southward fighting spirit in Yinshan and extinguished the idea of Touman's invasion, and in desperation, Touman could only choose to go east or west.
Donghu in the east heard that he had fought with the Xiongnu before, and he didn't get any benefits from each other, so he thought that now that the west has been subdued, the next one to suffer will definitely be Donghu.
Looking at Kukanqi, who was slightly nervous in front of him, Ying Zheng smiled: "What, are the Huns terrible?" ”
Kukanchi straightened his body and said stiffly: "Although the Huns are brave, there is nothing to be afraid of, what I am afraid of is that Dawan is unprepared and will be caught off guard by him." ”
Ying Zheng knew that he was forcing the scene to say this, and he didn't expose it, and said with a smile: "In the eyes of the widow, the Huns are nothing, when I captured Touman, I let him go back to the grassland, if you are really afraid that he will fight over, I will send him a letter." ”
Kukanchi and Murd's good feelings for Yingzheng instantly soared, even to the extent of worship.
"In this way, then thank you King Qin." Kukanchi said, "We must buy more of Great Qin's goods and sell more sweaty horses to Qin Ting." ”
"Oh?" Ying Zheng pretended to be surprised and said, "This deal is a good deal, if I equip all the Qin troops with sweat and blood horses, then the Xiongnu will be even less of an opponent." ”
Kukanchi: "......"
At present, Dawan's army has not caught a few horses, and you will equip the Qin army with them when you open your mouth?
"Hahaha, King Qin said with a smile." Murd smiled, "The total number of sweaty horses is only a lot, I wanted to buy a batch before, but the Dawan King didn't sell me." ”
Kukanchi looked at Murd with a dazed look in his eyes, as if he had some doubts about what he said.
Murder gave him a look, and Kukanchi understood it, and then said: "Yes, the royal family of the foreign countries wants to buy our sweaty horses, and the royal court refuses to sell them easily. ”
Ying Zheng couldn't see through their thoughts, and then said with a smile: "I'll talk about the matter of sweat and blood later, the widow is not rich enough to equip all the soldiers and generals with horses, so it's better to take you to see the goods I brought over this time." ”
Murder's eyes lit up, and he said continuously: "Okay, okay, let's go and see, let me open my eyes." ”
Ying Zheng pleaded, and then took the two envoys to the station of the Tiger Army.
After entering the Elite City, Yingzheng could be said to be absolutely safe, so the Tiger Ben Army was stationed ten miles away from the east of the city, leaving only a team of guards to guard the Elite Palace.
Most of the goods are still on the way, they have already arrived from Jiayuguan, and now only some of the goods in the camp are put in the grain and grass cart by Ying Zheng, and he wants to sell them to Khotan first.
The soldiers carried boxes of goods in front of the two envoys, opened the boxes, cleaned the shockproof wood chips inside, and showed the same goods to them.
Murder first sniffed the tea leaves and nodded incessantly: "Good tea, it seems that the taste is not quite the same." ”
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Because of the different preparation methods, the tea is naturally diverse, your one is green tea, and there are black tea, white tea, and oolong tea next to it. ”
"Well, yes, I'm going to have a drink and a taste in a while." Murd will have a tea pot in his hand? To Kukanchi, he leaned over and picked up a roll of brocade, "This is the fabric from which gorgeous clothes are made?" ”
Ying Zheng saw that he had never seen the market, and he was really funny, but he explained with a smile on his face: "This is silk, not fabric, and the materials and workmanship are different." ”
Murde said: "I see that the royal family of Dawan is dressed in colorful colors, and this brocade must be of any color." ”
Ying Zheng pointed to several other boxes: "Inside are brocades and silks of different colors." ”
Murder looked at them one by one, and couldn't help but let out a wave of admiration.
If this is brought back to the women of the family, it must not be given to them to be beautiful.
Wu Chan smiled and said, "Hehe, the royal robe on my body is made of these brocades. ”
As a refined queen, she wears natural and luxurious, and before Ying Zheng came to be exquisite, the royal family's clothing can only be called a good style, as for the material, it can't be compared with the current one.
As early as in the lobby, when Murder saw Wu Chan for the first time, he was quite shocked in his heart, the Exquisite Queen already had a peerless jade face, coupled with the backdrop of the royal robe, it was like a heaven and a man, so that Murder never dared to look at each other.
Now that I get closer and take a closer look, I can't help but secretly marvel, isn't this queen a fairy? How did you come to be so noble?
"No wonder, those noble ladies in Dawan have improved their temperament a lot all of a sudden, this dress is indeed much stronger than Buyi." Murd sighed.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Our female workers in Daqin are also much stronger than other places, the workmanship is more fine, and they can cut their clothes more decently, and you will know when the time comes." ”
"Can you hire some and bring them back to Persia?" Murd said.
Ying Zheng smiled: "I don't count it, but you can let your subordinates learn it." ”
Murder smiled bitterly: "I bring all the guards, how can a big man learn?" ”
Kukanqi on the side was no longer unfamiliar with these tea leaves and silks, but he took out a few calligraphy and paintings from a box, and couldn't help but praise loudly after reading them.
Murd was attracted to him, and saw that he was holding a landscape painting in his hand, with clear brushstrokes, staggered shades, dignified and atmospheric, and supple with warmth.
"Oh my God, this is a work of art!" Murder exclaimed.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked the guards to open all the paintings and calligraphy.
Immediately, the paintings and calligraphy opened by the guards formed a circle, enclosing Murd and Kukanchi in the middle.
"These are just outnumbered people who brought them out to open the eyes of Loulan and Khotan." Ying Zheng said, "And it's not of the highest quality, if I send goods to the Western Regions, I still want to sell some pen and ink, utensils, musical instruments and so on." ”
After the two came to make a turn, they began to ask for the price.
Ying Zheng thought that the price of the landscape painting had been inflated, but unexpectedly, Mode called it cheap.
Immediately, he more than doubled the price of the second one.
"What, the price of this painting is not the same?" Murder asked.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Calligraphy and painting are all made by different painters, and the names are different, so the prices are naturally different." ”
"Oh, I see." Murde said, "Dare to ask King Qin, what is this painting made of, and it is so lifelike?" ”
Ying Zheng realized that in addition to Huaxia, where had he seen a brush, so he asked Meng Tian to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a few words on the spot.
Murd was amazed again, tied his mane to the bamboo joints, and could actually write?
I'm curious about everything, and it seems that this cultural difference is really not ordinary.
After seeing all the goods, Murd said: "Your Majesty King Qin, I want to buy all your goods first, and then send someone to transport them back to Persia first, and when the goods on your way arrive, I will also ask for them." ”
"Then I'll go to Qin State with you, if you don't have enough money, I'll let them transport some more gold and silver, what do you think?"
It seems that this Prince Merd is betting that these goods in front of him can be sold at a good price in Persia, after all, Persia is very rich in minerals, there are countless cattle and sheep, but there are not too many commodities for the people's daily use.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
Even if these things are not circulated among the people, the princes and nobles alone are enough to consume.
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "You are going, what should I do with the manifest of goods in the Western Regions?" ”
Wu Chan helped on the side and said: "Yes, it's like Khotan produces beautiful jade, Dawan produces good horses, these things are taken back to China, and the King of Qin can also make another profit, you Persia only takes gold and silver, and there are no special products, why do you want to grab the goods in Khotan." ”
When Murde heard this, he was anxious: "It's okay if the price I pay is higher, but if it doesn't work, I will go to Khotan to buy some fine jade, and exchange it with the King of Qin." ”
Ying Zheng laughed and said: "There are not too many of these in front of me, I can make a sample for you, if your Persian king takes a fancy to it, it is not too late for us to talk about the future." ”
"That's it." Seeing that King Qin agreed, Murde hurriedly ordered his subordinates to bring gold and silver and began to count the money.
Persia came with sincerity, and naturally carried a full pound of official silver, and after inspection, Yingzheng asked Meng Tian to collect the gold and silver and hand over the goods to Murd.
After receiving it, Murder sent someone back to Persia.
The next day, Ying Zheng asked the two envoys to go around first, and he said to Wu Chan that he wanted to explain to Khotan, so he rushed to Khotan with his team.
While driving, Ying Zheng opened his mouth and asked Xiang Wuchan: "What did you say in the letter you sent to the king of Khotan before?" ”
Wu Chan said: "As early as the last time you left, I mentioned to the king of Khotan that because of the desert, Jing Jue might move the capital, he was also quite surprised, and worried that the desert would not expand to them. ”
"I can't tell." Ying Zheng said, "It's really not clear in which direction this desert will expand, but judging from the rotating nature of the millstone, it should spread in all directions at the same time, and it is indeed difficult to predict whether it will affect Khotan." ”
"So how should we talk to him this time?" Uzen asked.
Ying Zheng said: "We can't control the desert, but we can hand over the original trade rights to Khotan, and then allocate some land to him, on the condition that he will buy as much as possible the objects and livestock that we can't take away, and also maintain the supply of jade to Daqin." ”
"Okay, it's all up to you." Wu Chan smiled gently, "Whether it is the head of a country or the head of a family, I will listen to you." ”
Ying Zheng nodded, and his heart was so sweet that he was numb.
Halfway through, he entered the realm of the kingdom of Humi, but he saw a group of men and horses in front of him.
After informing each other, they learned that it was an army of Khotan, which had just fought a battle with Rong Lu, and now returned victorious, and was willing to escort the Exquisite Queen into the city with them.
With the Khotanese army, they entered the city of Khotan, and Yingzheng and Wuchan entered the hall of the Khotanese palace.
Although this hall does not have the atmosphere of a superb palace, there are not a few exquisite jade stones in it, which is obviously very noble.
I saw a man sitting in the middle, wearing a brand-new royal robe made of brocade, wearing a jade crown on his head, with a thin face, and he was thirty years old.
It was the king of Khotan.
When Yingzheng married Wuchan before, he came to Khotan and met the king of Khotan, but that time it was a routine affair and there was not much in-depth communication.
And this time, there is something important to discuss with him, after all, this conversation involves the trend of the entire Western Regions in the future.
